Antioxidant Enhancing Property of Curry Leaf Powder (murraya Koenigii) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

چکیده
People with diabetes have greater antioxidant requirements due to increased production of free radicals in hyperglycemia. Decreased activity of the antioxidant enzymes may increase the susceptibility of diabetic patients to oxidative injury. Carotenoids and Vitamin C present in curry leaves possess antioxidant property, which helps to neutralize and counteract the deleterious free radicals. This study evaluates the antioxidant potential of Murraya koeinigii (curry leaf powder) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Twenty male Type 2 diabetic patients, 50-65 years formed the samples. The Diabetic Experimental Group (DEG) was supplemented with 15 g of curry leaf powder for a period of 30 days. Antioxidant parameters such as SOD, GSH-Px, Vitamin E and Vitamin C were analyzed. A significant change in antioxidant levels in the DEG was observed. Curry leaf powder had the property to increase the antioxidant levels which, if consumed regularly can delay complications associated with diabetes mellitus.

In the present study, antioxidant activities of the three plant parts (stem, leaf and callus) were investigated. Ethanolic extracts of stem, leaf and callus powder was characterized by the method described by (Hatano et al., 1988) in which stable 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical solution was used. In this paper, it is found that all of the in vitro and in vivo extracts have re...
